Well girls have their horsey parties and fairy princesses but what about the boys. How about boys toys and I don't mean the sort that comes with a console or you need a computer. For next birthday how about a party with real boys toys as in a John Deere Tractor Party. There are lots of  John Deere Party Supplies available in the marketplace and in fact you could make your own using John Deere clipart and stickers and even a photo of your youngster on a tractor from that farm visit you went on last summer. It will make the build up to the day more exciting for your child and make him really appreciate his birthday party.

So where do you have the party; if you live close enough to a "petting farm or zoo" they may do birthday parties, alternatively the backyard can easily be turned into a makeshift farmyard with a few bales of straw making it the ideal place for your   John Deere Birthday Party . A few decorations and bunting which can be homemade so long as it is John Deere colors of green and yellow! Add some farm costumes and a scarecrow and you are all set. You could even ask the guests to come in fancy dress or at least come in their denims with the odd checked shirt and you can add some straw hats as they arrive. There are many extras you can find on the web and here at John Deere Party Supplies which will help make the day memorable.

So what do the kids do! Well if you can't get a real one, there are plenty of toy ride-on john deere tractors available and if the children are too young for that then you can always get a play farmhouse and animals and we have lots of John Deere tractor toys to add to the occasion.  Another great idea would be to cover a wall (at least as high up as they can reach!)  with paper and buy some John Deere colouring sets and stickers which can be used to make a huge farmyard scene with every youngster contributing to this artwork masterpiece. The parents will love it when they come to collect their kids.

There is always plenty to keep the children amused and the sort of games you play depends on location. Pinning the tail on the donkey and finding a needle in a haystack are two farm related activities ideal for indoor parties. Outdoors of course any game that involves running around will of course be popular as will pitching hoseshoes (plastic ones of course). You could pin an animal on a child's back. They then turn round and show it to the rest of the children and then they have to guess which animal by asking questions which only ellicit a yes/no response. Get some party balloons with an animal face on each one and then get the children to heard them into a corral but not by carrying them. You can always end the activities with a good old sing song "Old MacDonald had a farm goes down well. With a little imagination a great afternoon can be had by everyone.

All these activities can be turned into games by using a stopwatch and even team games. One broom per team and everyone has to corral a cow balloon will soon have everyone shouting for their team to win.

When it comes to food and drink, a BBQ theme with hamburgers and hot dogs goes down a treat.  You can even add corn on the cob, baked potatoes and watermelon as sides but the centre piece has got to be a cake baked in the shape of a John Deere tractor withn green and yellow icing. Drinks can be kept in a John Deere plastic trailer or old wheelbarrow  topped up with ice and there are plenty of different disposable tractor plates.

As well as the commercially available party favors you could add some John Deere stickers and coloring pens, but for something different add a little pack of sunflower seeds or anything else that is fast growing and easy. It will  make a great educational project.

It will be a fun day and exhausting but don't forget to have a great time yourself and have the camera on hand to treasure the memories of your John Deere party day for a lifetime

John Deere the name is instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up in the United States. While the company is indeed well known elsewhere in the world as well, John Deere is an American icon and its distinctive green and gold logo is appreciated far beyond its Illinois home. One idea for a birthday party is to have a John Deere themed birthday party and of course to make it a great day why not some John Deere toys as birthday presents. Of ocurse you will need soem great John Deere party supplies which can be found in our party shop!

Generations of children have grown up on Toy John Deere tractors and other miniature John Deere farm equipment. Even children who have never set foot on a farm are intimately familiar with the company's line of Farm Machinery Tanks, Toy Tractors and the Power Loader and some of their other most popular toys.

Perhaps the most sought after out of all Toy John Deere collections are those toys which are manufactured and sold by the company itself such as the John Deere Toy Lawnmower. These are not as widely available as are other toy versions of john deere products, they must be purchased through a John Deere dealer rather than at a toy store. This relative scarcity has made them highly prized by toy collectors, but the company now also sells these high quality tractors and other products via the web.

Most likely the most popular toys are the John Deere licensed line which are available at Toy Stores, including national chainstores and retailers. These products are reasonably priced and have been the foundation of many cherished childhood memories - there are even John Deere toy tractors which are designed for children to ride in, much like the Big Wheel Toys you may remember and that I personally rode on for years as a small child.

Many adults also remember these products from their own youth, ensuring that these toys will remain popular for many years to come as a love of these toys is passed down from generation to generation. A childhood without John Deere seems almost unthinkable and it is great to know that each new generation of children are just as enthralled with John Deere Toy Tractors, combined with the many other toy versions of their product line which have enchanted young and old alike for many decades now. I'd go as far as to say this company is a household name and icon worldwide.

Speaking of adults, there are many grown-ups who have made a hobby of collecting these popular Toy John Deere products. Anyone who has a fascination with machinery and a love of top quality craftsmanship will find a lot of things to enjoy about these toys and you may see many a collection in the family garage or basement rec room, for the adults in the household only! These toys aren't only for children, and I feel many people are baffled when they hear this!

So which John Deere Toy collection is the most popular? With several different lines of products, both licensed and manufactured by the John Deere company itself, all of which are excellent and have a lasting intergenerational appeal, it's a moot point. They serve niches as unique as John Deere Toy Airseeders.

All of these products have a hold on the imagination of kids of all ages, much as the iconic deer logo of the company has a firm hold in the collective imagination of the American public. After all, who doesn't love a tractor and the chance to get a little dirty? That's the thought that was racing through my head as I visited a friends house and saw a muddy John Deere Tractor lying upside down on the end of a mud puddle.
